Arthur Guinness Fund 2012
Up to €1 million in funding to be made available to support
established and start-up projects
The Arthur Guinness Fund has re-opened for applications for the 2012 fund, and applications are now closed. Over the last two years nearly €2 million was awarded to twenty projects and in 2012 funding of up to €100,000 per project will again be made available to social entrepreneurs who have projects that are innovative, impactful and sustainable, and make a real difference to Irish society.
There are two levels of support this year. For projects in the first two years of development, the fund will offer a ‘Challenge Grant’ with grants of up to €25,000 per annum for two years. Applications from social entrepreneurs who are at a more advanced stage (ideally two to five years in existence) can also apply, with grants of up to €50,000 per annum for two years. In addition, all successful applicants will benefit from access to the Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Alumni Network..
Guinness & Co. is working with Social Entrepreneurs Ireland to implement the fund. Please note that this fund is entirely separate to the Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Awards process, which will open for applications in January 2012.
